Reviews for Black & Decker MS1000 Cyclone 1.4 Amp Orbital 4-in-1 Multi Sander:
Bought this to refinish our oak dining table. The table has curves and grooves in its design and the small attachment is very helpful. Couldn't have finished project without it.
I have used this tool for several detailed sanding projects and have been pleasantly surprised at the versitility and ease of use. Very quiet too compared to other sanders I own. A very innovative product that,for the home hobbyist,can save a great deal of money versus buying several specialized sanders.
This is my very first power tool and I like it a lot. It works very well overall. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the tip,which is detachable,started cominging off after only a few uses. If I want to sand with the tip,I have to use a whole new piece of sandpaper to hold it in place. Once the tip part wears out (and it's always the first part that does) and I try to put a replacement sandpaper tip on,it (the diamond-shaped tip on the actual sander) keeps falling off. Other than that,it's great.
I love this tool! I bought it to remove paint from a Formica counter top and it did the job easily,though certainly not mess-free. The canister did catch a lot of the paint dust,but plenty escaped and settled all over the bathroom. I realized it when I noticed that my nice white shower curtain was red. ;-) So,wear a dust mask and old clothes.
The only problem I've had is with the teeny screw that must be removed to attach the Finger Detail Attachment. It was in so tight that I eventually managed to ruin the head trying to get it out. I took it to Lowes where two different men decided to make it their pet project for the day. After several minutes and some hefty man-type efforts,they got the damaged screw out,warning me not to reuse it. I bought new ones.
I don't know much about power tools,but if I can complete a job with this sander,anyone can! I'm giving four stars instead of five because the dust isn't as contained as Black and Decker said it would be,and because of the screw that was put in way too tight.
It works well. However,the attachement is not as useful as I thought it would be.
